The Dragon

By Toby Schmitz

27 June 2013 – 25 July 2013 Merlyn Theatre

Adapted from Evgeny Shwarz's The Dragon

Malthouse Theatre,

New Adaptation Theatre

A dragon has held sway over a cowering village for centuries, when a brave Lancelot arrives to vanquish the beast. The problem? The townsfolk have become quite fond of the tyrant and the impositions he makes … including the annual human sacrifice!

 

"AUSTRALIA'S THREE WISE KINGS OF MUSICAL SATIRE ... MAKE YOU LAUGH AND THINK AT THE SAME TIME."
